"Rain Is A Good Thing" is the opening track from Luke Bryan's second album, Doin' My Thing. Bryan wrote it with country music songwriter Dallas Davidson, whose other writing credits include Trace Adkins' "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk," Jack Ingram's "Barefoot and Crazy" and the Brad Paisley-Keith Urban duet, "Start a Band."
This song puts a positive spin on rain. Bryan told AOL's The Boot: "It was fun to take a subject that's typically got a negative connotation and make it a positive thing. Rain is very important, and kind of kicks off the whole process of life."
As Bryan is the son of a farmer who was dependent on rain he decided that he wanted to write a positive song about precipitation. Luke explained to The Boot: "We worked in agriculture, so we were always looking up at the sky, checking if it was raining or if rain was in the forecast. That always kind of set the tone for the mood in my household, whether we had rain coming in or not. Or if it had rained, we knew the crops would be good and it was going to be a good week around the Bryan household."
